Part 11- VW BUS with Subaru engine-AUTO SHIFTER MOD AND CABLE INSTALL

I lengthen the automatic floor shifter and install a marine shift cable on the 1974 VW bus. Gotta fabricate when you can’t just buy parts!

Love watching your project. Thanks!

Damn man, incredible work...

[@draftydale]

I wasn’t sure about going auto on my conversion but watching this series you’ve convinced me that it’s the way to go

Loading up the first drive today - part 13 . Watch that one, some gear howling in the differential due to reverse drive of the 4EAT TRANS. I’d still do it again vs keeping the old VW manual trans. It’s sweet to drive for sure!

I really enjoy these videos Jeff, really creative work. Its really helped me to think outside the box with my project 👌

Thanks! Trying to keep low budget vs buying everything-

Never breathe in carb cleaner vapor after spraying on hot metal unless you want to go to the hospital and have long term lung problems. My buddy almost died from the vapors.

That is so Nairobi! Aka N-rigged. I could see these techniques used if your in the middle of nowhere or Laos jungle with no resources but that’s not the case here.

[@WolfofWisco]

Techniques? Dude - it’s called fabrication using the parts I had on hand. The shifter works flawlessly!

Great job! Creative solution to the shift cable extension problem we have on these van conversions. I'm interested in seeing what you do for a "console" around the base of the shifter.

[@WolfofWisco]

I tried to make a quick console using a 1 gallon antifreeze jug, ugly and a failure. Not sure what I’ll do to clean that up….thanks!
